Over the years, a number of Transformers characters have shared their names with various characters and vehicles in other Hasbro lines.
This list includes a few Takara Transformers characters as well, because why the hell not?
Shared names with G.I. Joe
Shared names with other Hasbro lines
Similarly, several other non-G.I. Joe Hasbro lines over the years have shared names with Transformers characters.
Trivia
- G.I. Joe Sideswipe is modeled and named after Hasbro employee Andrew Frankel, who also worked on the Transformers toyline.
- The Beast Wars name "Tarantulas" actually came from an unproduced Joe-series "Manimals" toy, Tarantulus.
- Contrary to fan rumors, the name Kobushi was NOT originally intended for an unreleased Xevoz figure. The unreleased Xevoz figure was named "Scarabushi."
- Hasbro has occasionally used names from non-Hasbro toylines that were obtained via corporate buyouts and the like for Transformers characters, with the most notable examples being Generation 2 Go-Bots, named after the Tonka GoBots toyline, and Armada Leader-1, named after the leader of the "good guy" Tonka GoBots.
- Hasbro and Tonka also shared certain GoBots names when they were still in competition. Blaster, Rumble and Warpath were both Transformers and GoBots.
